Frankfurt Construction Management Gmbh

What Frankfurt Construction Management Gmbh does

Frankfurt Construction Management GmbH (FCM) is a privately held construction and cost management firm founded in 2017 in Frankfurt am Main. It provides professional services for complex, large-scale building projects — most prominently high-rise towers, mixed-use developments, and select infrastructure mandates — through two service packages: CM, a side-by-side model where the client contracts executing firms directly while FCM provides project control and site supervision, and CM+, a single-source variant that adds integrated general planning responsibilities. Deliverables cover project control, site supervision, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) management, testing and commissioning, and project management support. The technology stack described is conventional construction-management practice with an integrated network of more than 150 specialists supporting the core 80-person team; no proprietary software platform, AI capability, or data flywheel is disclosed.

The firm is led by founding partners Thomas Scheu (architect), Ingo Adler (civil engineer, MBA), and Ole Schreier (energy and heating technology engineer), augmented by partner Stefan Engel (Scheu+Engel GmbH) since 2018 and Prokuristin Anna Zwirner from 2025. Customer evidence centers on enterprise real estate investors, developers, banks, and asset managers — including Commerz Real, Tishman Speyer, DWS, DEKA, Helaba/OFB, DIC/Branicks, Swiss Life, alstria office REIT, BNP Paribas Real Estate, RFR, and SIGNA — alongside public-sector and research-facility engagements such as Landeshauptstadt Mainz and the FAIR facility in Darmstadt. Headquartered at WINX Tower in Frankfurt and operating across major German commercial real estate markets (Frankfurt, Hamburg, Berlin, Ludwigshafen, Mannheim, Mainz, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt, Hannover), FCM is fully founder-owned with no disclosed external funding.
